Purple Nudibranch

[dic wood]

I purchased a (Purple Nudibranch) an impulse buy

without doing research.
Anyone with experience with keeping him fed and healthy?

It appears to be a Chromodoris sp. I cannot tell you what it eats but other species of this Genus typically eat some type of encrusting sponge.
The only way to feed this animal would be to find the specific type of sponge it was feeding on when captured, import that specific sponge and propogate it.

Lots of live rock might increase its chances too. Also make sure your powerheads are nudi-proof.

you mean like black censor bars???

, just kidding. I wish those guys were easier to take care of, my tank would be filled with nudibranches.
